Earlier this year, ODPHP collaborated with Connect Extension on a webinar, Increasing Physical Activity Among Older Adults. In this webinar, participants were introduced to the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans Midcourse Report: Implementation Strategies for Older Adults, learned a summary of key strategies to increase physical activity among older adults, and the webinar highlighted Move Your Way® resources that Extension professionals can use to promote physical activity in their work. Additionally, the University of Arkansas and the University of Missouri Extension programs shared details on their efforts to promote physical activity and healthy aging.

Below we’ve linked the resources and tools that were shared during the webinar.
